This directory contains Red Hat packages for Perl modules that we need
but which are not included in the standard operating-system
distribution.  At present, this includes:
	XML::LibXML::XPathContext
	Marc::Record
	HTML::TagCloud (needed for MKAdmin, not ZOOM-Perl)

--

The base source RPMs were downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/olea.org/paquetes-rpm/perl-XML-LibXML-XPathContext-0.07-1.src.rpm
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/Mandriva/devel/cooker/SRPMS/contrib/release/perl-MARC-Record-2.0.2-1mdv2010.1.src.rpm
ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/2/mirror/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/perl-HTML-TagCloud-0.34-4.fc14.src.rpm
and are saved in the "orig" subdirectory.

But they all needed tweaking for CentOS as shown in the log below:

I couldn't find a source RPM for XML::LibXML::Simple, but I did find a
"nosrc" RPM containing a .spec file, and the actual source is easy to
get from CPAN, so I downloaded these from:
http://dist.momonga-linux.org/pub/momonga/6/Everything/SRPMS/perl-XML-LibXML-Simple-0.13-3m.mo6.nosrc.rpm
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MA/MARKOV/XML-LibXML-Simple-0.13.tar.gz
extracted the .spec file from the nosrc.rpm, edited it, and built the
module using:
	sudo rpmbuild -ba perl-XML-LibXML-Simple.spec
--

It's pretty pathetic that you need a different source RPM for each Red
Hat variant, but that seems to be the way of things.  So for each
modules, I unpacked it to get hold of the .spec file that needs
editing, and the source tarball that it builds, as follows:
	rpm2cpio perl-MARC-Record-2.0.2-1mdv2010.1.src.rpm | cpio -i
And modified the extracted .spec file as necessary.  The modified
.spec files are part of this git archive; the tarballs are not.

The final binary packages, build for centos5, are in the "centos5"
directory.  The build command is:
	sudo rpmbuild -ba perl-MARC-Record.spec
